I would need some more context to comment on the impressiveness of your GPA, e.g class size, AP policy, but from initial perusal you would seem to nearly meet stat borderlines at the reaches (1550+ would be best). Try the ACT if possible. You have not given any information regarding academic interests, but superficially I don’t see a cohesive hook beside URM in the ECs. Do you have any notable leadership positions in any of your ECs? I don’t know the extent of your volunteer work, but generally, volunteer work is not a very strong impetus for admission to top schools. It typically doesn’t show the creativity and entrepreneurship that these schools have the privilege of selecting for. I think your application would benefit supremely from the addition of an activity or project that truly represents an aggregation of your academic passions and some desirable character traits such as those aforementioned. Again, I have no idea what these may be, so I am not able to suggest anything singularly. In my opinion, I think the safeties you have selected are indeed that. Williams can be tricky at times so I may bump into the lower end of the reach category, but you do appear to have somewhat of a chance. Unless you boost the SAT/ACT score and demonstrate the manifestation of passion in some manner, I think you will have a tough time getting into Harvard and Penn.
With an acceptance rate of 12% Williams is a reach school for any unhooked applicant, yourself included. Plus your SAT scores are a tad below the average for accepted students this past cycle. https://communications.williams.edu/news-releases/3_19_2019_class2023/
I’d also be sure to demonstrate interest in Tulane.
